Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

From the moment he left Yuan Shu to the current Yangzhou Mu, Sun Ce has reached a height that his father did not have, but he is not satisfied, and has always been interested in marching into the Central Plains.

However, he has always been unwilling to send troops to fight, because the ruling family has just attached their hearts, and some of them are not sincerely surrendering. If they attack with a large army, if the backyard catches fire, the gain will not be worth the loss.

So Sun Ce has been distressed, this time Yuan Shao sent people here, so he just gave him this opportunity to march from Yangzhou, and the waterway can directly reach the territory of Xiapi in Xuzhou.

If Xiapi can be occupied, then Sun Ce will have many more options for marching in the future, so Yuan Shao sent someone to ask for help, and Sun Ce agreed without thinking about it.

However, he asked Yuan Shao to give him the xiapi as a gift. This request was absolutely impossible for Yuan Shao to agree to in the past, but now it is somewhat possible.

As soon as Xu Shu's army arrived, if Yuan Shao didn't have enough troops, then the whole Xuzhou would be lost, and it's nothing to let go of a small Pi right now.

But to cede the city, Yuan Shao's emissary can't be the master, he can only say that he will go back to report first, and send someone to notify immediately if there is a reply.

Sun Ce didn't make it difficult for anyone who came, saying that he would be ready to send troops. If Yuan Shao disagreed, Xuzhou would be in danger, and he would take his own pill.

After expounding his ideas, Sun Ce sent people to escort the envoys and rushed back to Xuzhou by water, while he summoned his subordinates and others to discuss the matter of dispatching troops.

Sun Ce didn't want to ask the people below for their opinions on this matter, because he would never let go of this great opportunity and wait until he doesn't know when.

In the Sun Mansion's meeting room, civil and military personnel were on both sides, and Sun Ce was sitting at the top, narrating the military affairs, and everyone had different expressions on their faces.

After Sun Ce finished speaking, Zhang Zhao stood up and said, "My lord, Yangzhou is newly settled. Although it is said to be unified, bandits and bandits from all over the country are entrenched by foreign races. It will take time to clean it up."

"If there is a big war at this time, I'm afraid it will break the stable situation in Yangzhou. Please think again, my lord."

Sun Ce said displeased: "I have made up my mind. This is a great opportunity. Please don't try to persuade me. Zibumo cares about the money. If the treasury is empty, I will make another plan."

Seeing Sun Ce expressing his intentions with a determined face, Zhang Zhao could only give up. After all, as a conspirator, he had already said what he had to say.

When the war started, he was unable to support him, so he couldn't be blamed. Yangzhou had been occupied by various forces all year round. Although it was rich, Sun Ce did not have much wealth, and most of it was in the hands of the aristocratic family.

Zhang Zhao's words were suppressed, and those who had the intention not to send troops stopped speaking.

Seeing that no one was meaningful anymore, Sun Ce went on to say, "Who is willing to lead the army this time?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu stood up with a smile and said, "Gong Jin is not talented. I would like to meet Xu Shu. I can take a look at Li Jun's strength so that I can prepare for facing Li Jun in the future."

Zhou Yu was very appreciative of this dispatch of troops. After all, Li Jun's prestige was spread like a heavenly soldier descending from the world.

And if Yuan Shao can't defend this time, then Yangzhou will also be exposed to Li Huiyi's attack range. Although most of the northerners are not familiar with water, there is no guarantee that Li Jun will not come forward.

Only by taking preventive measures in advance can we take the initiative. What is a schemer is to plan ahead of others, plan ahead, and control the overall situation.

Since Zhou Yu took the initiative to invite Ying, Sun Ce was naturally happy, and immediately agreed that he would lead [-] troops and march towards Xuzhou by water.

Following Sun Ce's order, the various ministries in Yangzhou began to operate, soldiers and horses continued to gather, and some people with ideas were eager to move again.

But knowing that Sun Ce was not personally leading the army, those people sighed and suppressed their thoughts. The name of Sun Ce in Yangzhou is frightening.

His image of bravery is firmly established in people's hearts. As long as he doesn't move, no one will dare to make a fuss.

Sun Ce did not go to Xuzhou by himself, and he also had this idea, otherwise, with his bellicose heart, he would definitely not have sent Zhou Yu there alone.

After the Yangzhou crusade, Sun Ce has matured a lot, and he is no longer that reckless person, but there are still some in nature. After all, his personality is like this, and it is impossible to completely change it.

Sun Ce's decision to send troops in Yangzhou has been made, and he started preparations without waiting for Yuan Shao's reply.

At this time, Cao Cao also welcomed Yuan Shao's envoy. Originally, the two had agreed to attack Li Huiyi together, let him fight on two fronts, and defeated him.

But in just over a month, Yuan Shao was defeated, and he was still defeated without any power to fight back. This made Cao Cao worried, fearing that he would end up like this when facing Li Jun.

The person sent to Cao Cao was Chunyu Qiong, a general who had participated in the besieged battle and was also an official in the same dynasty as Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao sent Chun Yuqiong to Cao Cao's office to explain Li Jun's fighting style and the secret weapon that made him defeat.

When Cao Cao met Chunyu Qiong, he learned the power of Li Jun's mysterious weapon from his words, so he summoned his subordinates and others to listen in on the spot and seek a way to crack it.

Knowing the urgent summons, Cao Cao's subordinates and others of course did not dare to stop, and immediately got up to go, for fear of missing a major event.

When they arrived, they were shocked when they heard Yuan Shao's defeat, and when they learned the real situation from Chunyu Qiong, their faces showed fear, and they couldn't believe it for a while.

Chapter 615 Decisive Battle (17)

At the same time, I was timid in my heart, if it was true what Chun Yuqiong said, then no matter how many troops Cao Jun had, they would be useless.

When everyone's faces were ugly, one person suddenly said: "Li Jun has nothing to be afraid of, but it's just a sorcery. If I let Chu go, I will kill them and flee."

Hearing Xu Chu's voice, Cao Cao, who was already a little troubled, suddenly shouted: "Xu Chu! You go back first and guard outside the door."

After being scolded by Cao Cao, Xu Chu strode away displeased and walked out of the house.

After Xu Chu left, Cao Cao regained his composure and said, "General Chun, you have worked hard. Go down and rest for a while. The truth needs to be discussed. If you can spare troops, I will support Brother Benchu."

Chunyuqiong had a bandage on his arm, and it seemed that he was injured. Hearing Cao Cao's words, he bowed and left.

As soon as Chunyuqiong left, Cao Cao said: "Yuan Benchu ​​was defeated, Li Huiyi's pressure was greatly reduced, and he had an unknown weapon. It seems that our army may have some difficulty in winning."

What Cao Cao said did not mention supporting soldiers and horses. It seems that he has already made plans in his heart.

Everyone hadn't recovered from Chunyu Qiong's words, and no one came out to speak out after hearing Cao Cao's words.

After waiting for a while, Xun Yu stood up and said, "Since the two armies have decided to fight, our army has also been preparing for a long time. If we hesitate, we may lose the opportunity."

It seems that Xun Yu has not been disturbed yet, and acting according to the plan is the best way at present, otherwise they will not be able to launch an active attack within a few years.

You know, the upcoming Xiliang army has more than [-] soldiers and horses, and this journey has consumed a lot of food, grass and money for Cao Cao.

If they don't take the initiative to attack and continue to defend for a long time, then the Xiliang army will definitely retreat. In this way, the consumption will be quite wasted.

"Yes." Cao Cao nodded and said: "Wen Ruo's words are reasonable, but we must find a way to crack them. Otherwise, if we lose in one battle, the soldiers may feel timid and not good for the battle situation."

Xun Yu thought for a while and said, "The Prime Minister is not unreasonable to be worried, but if you think about Chunyu Qiong's words carefully, it seems that there is a way to break that sharp weapon."

As soon as Xun Yu said this, everyone looked up curiously, wanting to know what to do.

Cao Cao also couldn't wait to say: "Wen Ruo speak quickly."

Seeing that everyone was anxious, Xun Yu didn't give a shit, and said, "Back to the prime minister, when Chunyu Qiong talked about that battle, he mentioned that Li Junjun entered the ditch like a moat first, so this ditch must be able to defend against the lethality of this secret weapon." .”

When Xun Yu said something, Cao Cao and the others immediately recalled it in their minds and found that there was indeed such a thing, but Chunyu Qiong only mentioned it briefly, and if he hadn't listened carefully, he would never have thought of it.

Cao Cao said thoughtfully, "What Wen Ruo said is really possible, otherwise Li Jun wouldn't do it like this."

"But I don't know how the ditch was dug. If there is another mystery in it, and our army doesn't know it, it will cause losses."

Cao Cao is worthy of being a hero of a generation. From the one-sided words, he guessed that there may be other things in the trench dug by Xu Shu.

It is true that there are small air-raid holes in the trenches, and the Shenwu artillery falls, usually outside the trenches. Even in the trenches, the wooden boards prepared in advance in the air-raid holes can also isolate most of the iron pieces.
